Itinerary

1

Day 01

Marrakech - Imlil - Tacheddirt (3000 m):
2

Day 02

We leave Marrakech after breakfast and go to Imlil via Asni. Imlil is the main starting point for hikers, and a lively market town. There is a constant movement of people coming down from the mountains, and an equal supply of activity from those who are about to embark on their adventure. We meet our muleteery team and once all our equipment is loaded, we start walking along the valley towards Tacheddirt, about 8 km beyond Imlil. Soon the trail starts to climb as we climb to the Tizi n'Tamatert pass (2,279m). We then descend to the pretty village of Ouaneskra and continue for half an hour or two to Tacheddirt (3000 m), where we generally camp by the river. Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner.

Day 07

Tacheddirt - Azib Likemt (3,555 m):
5

Day 08

Crossing the valley, we begin a long and slow ascent to the Tizi Likemt pass (3,555 m). The going is quite difficult since there is a considerable amount of loose scree on the ground. At the top, we enjoy our first beautiful view of the Toubkal massif before a long descent to the village of Azib Likemt, where we camp for the night.

Day 13

Azib Likemt - Tizi n'Ourai - Amsouzert (3876 m):
8

Day 14

This long but relatively easy day takes us through a variety of contrasting landscapes. From Tizi n'Ououraine (3,120 m), we enjoy an additional view of the Toubkal massif, including the summit, the east face and the Ifni Dome (3,876 m). The path leads to Amsouzert, one of the most striking villages in the region, where we spend the night - dormitory style - in a simple Gite village.

Day 19

Amsouzert - Lake Ifni:
11

Day 20

To the west of Amsouzert are several small villages that we explore as we head towards Lake Ifni, the only lake in the massif. It is a memorable sight, surrounded by Rocky Mountains and giant heaps of rubble, and is exceptionally deep. We expect to arrive at lunchtime and spend the afternoon relaxing by the shore. We are camping this evening in this area.

Day 24

Night in Camp Tent

Day 25

Lake Ifni - Nelter Hut (3900 m):
14

Day 26

Now we should be both fit and acclimatized, and ready for the toughest day of the hike. We make our way along a steep path that leads to a seemingly endless scree slope. Finally, we reach the Tizi n'Ouanoums pass (3,664 m), a narrow ledge between two rock wells. From there it's a long zigzag descent to Nelter Hut, a mountain refuge where we spend the night (or alternatively camp outside).

Day 30

we spend the night in a mountain refuge (or alternatively camping outside).
16

Day 31

Summit of Mont Toubkal - Imlil - Marrakech (4,167 m):
17

Day 32

We leave before dawn, following a well-worn route to the summit. If the conditions are right, it shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours to reach the summit, where we enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire Atlas range and the plains of Marrakech beyond. To return to the base, we descend fairly quickly to the villages of Sidi Chamharouch and Aremd, before following the Mizane river, along a well-drilled path, to the Imlil path. If you are staying in Marrakech, you will be taken there by car at the end of the day.
